Green tomato wins
lottery
An unripe tomato has won over £4million on the
National Lottery. The vegetable, that some people say is a fruit, matched
all six numbers. A spokesperson for Camelot, the company that runs the
Lottery, said, "This is the first time a tomato has won. The tomato
has asked for no publicity and we're happy to honour". But already
there have been objections to the tomato winning. Deputy Prime Minister
John Prescott said, "The tomato is clearly green and as I such I
would say there is a good chance that that is is too young to play the
Lottery. Humans should be over 16, why not vegetables? I think the money
should go to me instead".
Missing paper boy
mystery
A boy made
entirely out of paper had gone missing from his home in Cornwall. Stephen
Coster, 13, was playing in his garden when suddenly he just vanished.
"One minute he was there, the next he was gone", said his father
Colin. Police think that Stephen either blew away, was picked up and thrown
away by someone thinking he was a piece of rubbish, got rained on and
went all soggy, was eaten by a dog, was accidentally set on fire or is
at a friends house playing origami. Stephen is described as being a white
piece of paper.
Obituary
Susan Schwartznorth,
the Austrian painter has died at her home in Austria. She was 56. Ms Schwartznorth
will be remembered for her painting of the dining room in 1987. All the
walls were covered in paper with a delicate flower design while the paintwork
was done in her trademark white satin finish. Ms Schwartznorth once admitted
that she always found windows the most difficult to do as she always managed
to get paint on the glass. In the last couple of years, due to ill health,
Ms Schwartznorth got someone else to do her painting.
